Elea

Eléa offers a modern twist on classic Greek cuisine within an inviting, bi-level space. Recommended dishes include the grilled octopus, whole branzino, and lamb chops. Vegetarian staples like spanakopita and eggplant moussaka are also suggested, along with the crisp Greek salad topped with imported feta. A trio of house-made spreads—taramosalata, tzatziki, and hummus—makes for a great start to the meal, and the baklava is a popular choice for dessert.

Eléa is ideal for both intimate dinners and lively group gatherings, with its upstairs bar providing a laid-back setting and its expansive downstairs dining room designed for larger parties and private events. Renowned for its service and excellent food, Eléa has become a local favorite for special occasions and everyday meals alike. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity, and the restaurant accommodates vegan and vegetarian diners as well.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable date night, a festive brunch, or simply a taste of Greece in the heart of Manhattan, Eléa delivers an authentic and elevated dining experience that captures the essence of Mediterranean hospitality.
